i had a rcm pinion that was hardened very weird. i had the mesh right in my jammin crt x2 and the pinion was wearing considerably fast and one of the teeth broke off while only running 3s (geared for 38mph on 4s) just messing around in the front yard.

i had a dynamite pinion on that same truggy that wears at a medium speed. its lifespan in my truggy will probably be about 40 runs. at the rate my rcm pinion was wearing, it would have lasted maybe 15. the tooth broke off on the 3rd run.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
